    mostly true, but it did not allow all mentally ill people to buy guns, just the additional ones the Obama rule would have prevented

    "Did President Trump Revoke Gun Background Checks for Mentally Ill People?"

    Mostly True

    "The Obama rule would have prevented an estimated 75,000 people with mental disorders from being able to purchase a firearm. It was crafted as part of Obama’s efforts to strengthen the federal background check system in the wake of the 2012 massacre of 20 young students and six staff at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut."

    None of the police agencies outside of blackface Nor
    It took away rights with no due process. It labeled anyone that needed help with handling their finances as mentally ill.

    Unlike the governor of Virginia, who calls us racists, I’ve never worn blackface.

    You?

    many did think this could turn ugly, and the FBI did stop a potential threat, so we may have dogged the bullet on this one

    "FBI arrests 3 suspected white supremacists ahead of Virginia pro-gun rally"

    As to the number of people at lobby day try taking the number of people at a typical Biden rally and multiply that number by 10,000.

    But as you well know, the second amendment is not about hunting, or even self defense, (although those are the most common uses).

    Bull. Trump refused to define an elderly person who needed help with their finances from being declared "mentally ill".
    Dont you get tired of being called out for false statements?

    The rule, which became effective just two days before Trump took office, required the Social Security Administration (SSA) to inform the FBI’s criminal background check system about disabled adults receiving benefits through a representative because a mental impairment limited their ability to manage finances. Of course there is no history of anyone receiving disability benefits that have trouble managing their finances go on shooting sprees. The ACLU was against it.

    Oh yes...that's the only demographic that was prevented from buying a gun under Obama's gun control regulation. Not all people declared mentally unfit to manage their government benefits, but just elderly people who needed help with their finances.
